Description:
After exporting and importing a web content with a date field, the date changes by one day when displayed on a web content display portlet on a page.
This seems to be caused by the content being created on JVM time zone GMT and then imported into JVM EST.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set computer OS time zone to EST. Unzip two 6.2 bundles (export and import bundles) with no hotfixes installed, change JVM of export bundle to GMT and JVM of import bundle to EST.
2. In the export bundle (GMT) with no hotfix installed, create a web content structure and template that includes a date field.
3. Using the structure and template, create a web content, set the date to 01/01/16.
4. Export a LAR of the web contents.
5. Import into import bundle (EST), confirm that the correct date shows up in Control Panel 01/01/16
6. But the content actually displays an incorrect date 12/31/15.

One issue I ran into is that I was unable to display the web content on a page because after importing the web content, the status of the web content was stuck on Scheduled. Ever attempt to publish the content fails, so I could not display the content. However, by clicking "Basic Preview" I was able to see what the content would look like displayed and the incorrect date (31 December 2015) was used.

Results of Testing:
Expected Results: Imported Web content displays selected date (01/01/16)
Actual Results: Imported Web content displays a day off (12/31/15)
